Elon Musk criticises Donald Trump's plan

The first conflict has emerged in the relationship between Trump and Musk. Elon Musk has sharply criticised newly elected US President Donald Trump's project, which involves the creation of the StarGate company for the development of artificial intelligence. This was reported by CNN.

Doubts over project funding

In his X (formerly Twitter) account, Musk wrote:
«У них на самом деле отсутствуют средства. SoftBank предоставил менее 10 миллиардов долларов. У меня есть достоверная информация об этом». (They actually do not have the funds. SoftBank provided less than $10 billion. I have reliable information about this.)

According to media reports, representatives of SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle were present near Trump during the announcement of the StarGate project. The companies stated their readiness to invest $100 billion in the initiative and increase investments to $500 billion in the coming years.

Conflict with OpenAI

It is worth noting that Musk has long been in conflict with OpenAI, one of the key organisations in the field of artificial intelligence. He has repeatedly criticised their approach to technology development and management.

Context of the situation

The StarGate project was presented as a large-scale initiative to advance the US in the field of AI and strengthen global technological leadership.
